Originally my project was to write research paper about how Quantum Mechanics was developed in the hope that it would help people understand Quantum Mechanics better if they understood where it came from.
For the first ten or so classes I researched a bunch of the experiments that led up to the development of quantum mechanics and wrote a summary of them in my notebook.
One of the experiments that I researched was the Cathode Ray experiment that found the charge to mass ratio of an electron.
Another one of the experiments that I researched was the Oil Drop experiment that found the magnitude of the charge of the electron.
After the first ten or so classes I realized that I wouldn’t have enough time to write the research paper because I had missed a bunch of classes for a variety of reasons. So I decided to shift my focus to Quantum Chromodynamics, the physics of the strong force, because I was more interested in it.
For the rest of IMP I researched Quantum Chromodynamics which is the physics of the strong force and quarks. All of my research is in my notebook, but I will be explaining everything I learned from 7:00-7:20
The End
